Don't Be Too Quick to Say No

All children need to be told "no" at certain timesâ€”to keep them
from doing something dangerous. But many parents say
"no" reflexively. And a kid who hears "no" a lot is apt to
rebelâ€”especially if she's impulsive to begin with.

Smart parents know when to say "no," and when it makes more sense to take a deep breath and answer in the affirmativeâ€”and avoid a nasty confrontation.
